The wife of Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder has backtracked after a Dutch newspaper reported she had said her husband will leave the San Siro in January.

The Holland international faces an uncertain future at Inter after rejecting a request to take a significant pay cut, with Nerazzurri head coach Andrea Stramaccioni insisting the 28-year-old's three-month absence from his team is solely a tactical decision.

De Telegraaf reported actress and television personality Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau told them: "We are about to emigrate. It should happen in early January and we are looking for a nice place for our family."

But she later wrote on Twitter: "So many questions about our situation...

"Sweet people, as far as I know we are not leaving Milano! Some 'media' will always make up stories."
